Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

"Marvel/DC movies BAD."
They're products aimed at children with the intention of selling other related products. The fact that some biological adults love them excessively in certain communities/cultures says something about those groups, but doesn't change the nature of the films themselves. What exactly did you expect?!
Agree, and as an adult who enjoys comic book movies. I also like really good cinema. Liking good movies does not mean movies that aren't winning Oscars are all bad. It means you're just a gatekeeper.
I can sit down and watch a movie like the Brutalist or the Whale absolutely lose my shit at them.
But sometimes I don't feel like being emotionally destroyed and just want good guys punching bad guys with predictable plot.
Humans are complex and sometimes you may like one and other times the other, there is no "you can't like X movie". Only gatekeepers think that way.
I agree to a great degree. And expectations should be adjusted accordingly. I remember having a great time watching Thor: Ragnarok, not because it was beautiful art that made me reflect and cry and whatnot but because it was fun! And not extremely dumb, lol, and that's all we can ask from these movies. Rarely do people only enjoy things with a lot of depth and complexity, and even if you're like that about movies, are you the same about music? Food? You've never enjoyed a greasy burger? So yeah there's no need to hate on them, and no need to expect more from them either (but if it happens it's always a nice surprise!). ✌️
Hi,
I’m only commenting to show something… Seconds ago I read a comment about Ukraine and pornography with which I completely disagreed. I left the thread, came here, read a comment I completely agree with.
Both are made by the same commenter.
See, we can agree on some things and disagree on others. There’s more than two personalities available.
There might be three even, but that's it! 😅
Maybe it’s just me, but I also find it weird to see adults with t-shirts or stickers on their cars of what are essentially kid’s shows and comics.
